WarCraft on the Zaurus (640x480)? "FreeCraft" or &

[ThC]

I just wonder ... does anyone got the game running on cacko\'s Qtopia based rom v1.21a ... and which Qtopia version are U using TonyOlsen ? As every SL-Cxxx user I\'ve seen here got it working with the original sharp rom ... ?

[TonyOlsen]

it would be nice if we can un-scaled it by 2.
Do you think is something that I can hack in the SDL library or in stratgus?

That would be pretty nifty!!   Imagine the current interface if many of the programs could be shown in half size (2x2=4 pixel resampled to 1 pixel.. just like in VNC).  Ah... the possibilities.

[TonyOlsen]

Qtopia version are U using TonyOlsen ?

In system info it says \"Qtopia for OpenPDA\" version 1.5.4, built on Nov. 6, 2003

Hm... could all of this be a problem with Qtopia for OpenPDA?  Of those people who have had the same problem as me... are you also running it on an SL-C860?

[ThC]

yep but which rom is it ? is it a stock rom by sharp/dynamism or a cacko rom ?

[TonyOlsen]

It came from Dynamism, so I would guess \"sharp/dynamism\".

I also tried booting to the console and tried running stratagus from there...

Code: [Select]

$ ./stratagus -d data.wc2 -v 1 &> /mnt/cf/logfile.txt

./stratagus: error while loading shared libraries: libqte.so.2: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory

Oh well... that was worth a try...

[ThC]

sounds weird to me that it can\'t find it in console mode and no problem with qtopia running ... try find / -name libqte.so.* and linking an existing libqte.so library to libqte.so.2 ... it did solve some problem for me with other softwares

edit : I just tried to launch stratagus in pure console mode ... no lib problems but : \"
Qsocket::writeBlock: Socket is not open
Qsocket::writeBlock: Socket is not open
Qsocket::writeBlock: Socket is not open
Qsocket::writeBlock: Socket is not open
No Qt/Embedded server appears to be running.
If you want to run this program as a server,
add the \"-qws\" command-line option
# stratagus -qws

Can\'t open framebuffer device /dev/fb0

# \"
seem we should give up the idea bypassing Qtopia to gain memory  

[TonyOlsen]

I\'m guessing that QTopia adds paths and load up libraries to memory which is why stratagus works in Qtopia and not from the console.

[ThC]

I just tryed obtaining the log to have a clue with my problem but there no seem to be any error there :

Display size = 480x640

In the game I can move around the map using keys but it hang when i use the stylus to select  an unit or move it on the map ... maybe an input problem ?

[ThC]

Just tryed reloading stratagus using ssh ti have a more verbose output ... here\'s what it gave :

$ stratagus
Display size = 480x640
Stratagus default config file loading ...

... ready!

Trigger not set, defining trigger

any ideas ? ... what about the undefined trigger ? (nothing appears when taping screen/device hanging up) - missing trigger message come when it finish loading the level

[TonyOlsen]

I freezes when it is about to load the unit\'s menu (and audio sound?) on the left.  It happens randomly for me... sometimes I can click on a peon have him go to the gold mine, click on soldier and have him move, but then it freezes when I click on town hall.  Other time it freezes on the first click on a unit.

I wish I could take a poll of which Zaurus models are and aren\'t having problems.  It seems like this is only a problem on the SL-C860 models...

I know some of you are going to hate me for this, but in order to track this down I need to know more about the pattern of failure.. so I\'m going to create a new thread with a poll asking which Zaurus you\'ve played WarCraft on.  Please visit it and let me know... and then we\'ll see if it really IS a problem with the 860 or whether that isn\'t a pattern at all...

The thread is http://www.zaurususergroup.com/index.php?n...iewtopic&t=4079

Other people, who have gotten Stratagus working, have said that they also saw this message.... but they may have been in 240x320 mode and maybe they didn\'t actually click on any units... so maybe they would\'ve frozen too....

[ThC]

there\'s no seem to be any link between sound/pattern loading for me as the zaurii is hanging even if I tap somewhere on the grass over the map (e.g not on a unit ... I think it must a rom/library related problem ... another thing it could be is ... I have a memory problem on my Z which was causing me some trouble to change the rom back in time (fixed with new installers versions) and which is also causing me some visual bugs (blinking pixels over the screen with some roms during the boot up screen etc...) .... I\'ve heard that there were a few \"buggy\" SL-C860 like mine so it may also be the problem

[lucho]

I see the same output as the one posted by ThC (with the exception that it says 760, not 860), and it is working fine here...

[TonyOlsen]

So far it seems in general that it works on SL-C7x0\'s and not on SL-C860\'s.  lucho, did you put your data in the new poll already?

[lucho]

TonyOlsen, yes, i put it there.
